KFI is back to trashing their own signal at night and the audio high end
is compromised at all times.


And it remains a top 5 radio station...

By default, because they have a good signal.

Doesn't that disprove your statement about people not listening to
stations that are not perfectly clean and clear?


No, it does not. KFI sounds very clean and clear in its home market.

The NRSC research, headed by none other than Bob Orban, proved that a
bandwidth of up to around 6 kHz was ideal given today's receivers, and
anything more caused deterioration in the audio. The NRSC used a large
sample of average listeners using a variety of consumer radios.

KFI sounds like ****. They have no bass. They have no highs. It
sounds like the antenna system is too high Q or something. Lots of
carrier shift as well. KNX sounds 100% better.

40 stations in LA have good signals... about 10 AMs cover the market
comparably, and do nowhere nearly as well.

KFI has better ratings than most because it has more appealing programming.

Yet KFI has three or four times the audience of KNX...

The new KFI tower uses a very low Q ATU and is reasonably flat on the sides.

It sounds terrible. No balls.

Until the first signs of a temblor are felt, then it's KNX all the way.
I remember back in '94 Northridge, every radio you went past was on KNX,
who knows how many might have just left KFI to get some real news before
the KFI censors could cook a right wing spin into it.

When the daily data was broken out for the Northridge quake, the #1 station
was KFWB, followed by KHJ and then KNX. KFI was still building back then, so
not as much a news factor.

Meaning that a stack of skewed diaries say so ;-)

There are no diaries in LA.

Which they have now compromised.

In the several weeks that they have had HD back on, the ratings have not
slipped at all.

Now that's baloney. The analog frequency response has been limited so
they can broadcast the crap IBOC signal. They don't sound as good any
time day or night because of this and I find it hard to believe there is
no fading distortion in the metro LA area. They really sound terrible
when this happens.


The NRSC papers are searchable, and the evidence is quite convincing. In
fact, bandwidth much over 6.5 kHz actually makes most receivers sound
worse... the ideal being around 5.5 kHz to 6.5 kHz.

Yeah, with the IBOC on that's true but with just the analog signal it's
not. I have the luxury of knowing since I have a receiver that will go
out to 16KHz.

There are no diaries in LA.

Nor 'valid' ones anywhere.

And your degree or credentials in research are?

At least you got that GED on your side, boy!

Yeah, and a 4.0 GPA / Dean's list at ASU and lots of advanced courses
later.

But never a degree, even with as you've stated in the past, enough college
credits for two degrees!

Why would I need a degree? I was recruited out of college by an NYSE-listed
company as a VP, and since I was taking such an eclectic selection of
courses I would not have qualified for any degree field anyway, I ended up
with a custom-designed curriculum.
